Systemwide dosemu crashes

[Brad Rodriguez <bj@zetetics.com>]

Last week I reported problems accessing I/O ports from within dosemu.  It turned 
out that, for whatever reason, dosemu was using my private-user installation -- 
from the ready-to-use binary distribution dosemu-1.0.2.1-bin.tgz, installed as 
per the Quickstart instruction #1 -- rather than my subsequent systemwide 
installation, from dosemu-1.0.2.tgz, compiled and installed as per Quickstart 
instructions #2 and #2a.

Since I had done the binary installation first, I presumed that it had left a 
link or configuration file that was interfering with the later systemwide 
installation.  Not knowing what that might be, I simply deleted all the dosemu 
files from my system, and reinstalled from dosemu-1.0.2.tgz.  (I'm on a Red Hat 
8.0 distribution, by the way.)

The make and install_systemwide (using dosemu-freedos-b8p-bit.tgz) ran to 
completion ok (although with a large number of warnings about -m486, -malign, 
and multi-line string literals being deprecated).  But now when I run dosemu (or 
xdosemu) I get the following:

I'm running the standard "out of the box" configuration; no attempt to use 
serial or I/O ports.  If I try to run as root I get the following message:

----------
   Your are logged in as user root. The local configuration within
   this DOSEMU installation is not intended for secure operation.
   You need to run this as normal unprivileged user.

Any suggestions?
